The main reason Edwards can't carry his own (adopted) state is because he "represented" NC in the Senate. We *know* what Edwards is and we don't want him to be president. Send the cute little creep back to his modest new palace.

I don't consider the horse-race aspect of the primaries a particularly important subject, but it can be fun speculate on.

I'd guess Edwards will implode first.

Obama is the "fresh face" candidate - the one with so little of a track record that people can project their own fantasy of an ideal candidate onto him and vote their hopes. There's almost always a candidate in this niche, and sometimes they even win.

After being tossed out of the senate by the voters of his state, and then not even carrying his own state while being part of the team that lost to GWB (who supposedly is the worst president in history and thus should have been easy to beat), I have no idea what the Edwards is even doing in the race. I know Democrats believe in rewarding failure but nominating Edwards would be a little much even for them.

Hillary! sure is looking strong right now, but then 4 years ago today everyone in the press thought Howard Dean had it in the bag.

But I can't claim to be any more prescient than the MSM, because four years ago today my online research had already discovered the existence of the disgruntled Swifties, and I thought "No way are the Democrats ever going to give the nomination to a guy with as many negatives as Kerry." I guess I misoverestimated the Dem's collective intelligence.
